Yosemite National Park Holidays

Sequoia-trees, wild bears and glaciers - Yosemite's a sight to behold

Situated in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Yosemite National Park is a breath-taking combination of pristine landscape, rugged mountains and native wildlife. You can be in the park within hours of leaving such metropolises as Los Angeles and San Francisco – hard to believe when you come face to face with the striking scenery. The landscape varies from 2,000 to 13,000 feet above sea level, so if you’re into rock climbing there are few places as awe-inspiring to do it. Speckled with sequoia-trees, wild bears and glaciers, it really is a sight to behold. Read more...
